The perks started even before the convention officially convened, with donors on Monday night getting the chance to pose for photos on stage at the Time Warner Arena, according to literature detailing the Obama Victory Fund’s donor fulfillment program obtained by POLITICO.

All donors to the Obama Victory Fund are entitled to attend “an exclusive campaign briefing” Tuesday morning, reportedly with campaign manager Jim Messina, as well as a Wednesday “toast to the South with President Bill Clinton” and a Thursday rally with Vice President Joe Biden at the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

The Obama Victory Fund’s efforts to reward contributors both large and small — and everywhere in between — nods to Obama’s rhetoric about the importance of small donors, while also reflecting the reality that big donors are critical to keeping pace with Mitt Romney.

The podium photo session, for instance, is limited to donors who qualify for the “OBX and Kitty Hawk Packages,” according to the brochure, though it doesn’t indicate how much donors have to give to qualify.

Presumably, it’s less than is required to attend a Thursday morning National Finance Committee breakfast meeting with Michelle Obama. That’s open only to members of the committee, donors who qualify for something called the “NAB,” which is not defined in the brochure and “Presidential Partners” — those who give the maximum $75,800 donation to the Obama Victory Fund.

The OVF, as Obama hands call the fund, is a so-called joint fundraising committee comprised of Obama’s presidential campaign, the Democratic National Committee and a number of different state parties.

The campaign has blocked off six hotels in uptown Charlotte near the Time Warner Arena for big Obama Victory Fund donors and is planning two hospitality suites in the arena for donors who get lounge tickets, which “will be distributed on a daily basis in each credential package,” the brochure indicates.

“OVF Finance Guests will be treated to a week of exciting and informative events,” states the brochure, which includes an introduction written by national finance chairman Matthew Barzun, who was Obama’s ambassador to Sweden until last year, and the DNC’s national finance chair Jane Stetson.

A separate OVF “Finance Event” schedule lists “Post-Gavel” receptions for after the convention adjourns for the day Wednesday and closes for good on Thursday.

Volunteers tasked with assisting donors were instructed that “ALL Finance guests are VIPs,” according to a briefing delivered to volunteers. “You will interact with industry moguls, diplomats, and ambassadors,” advises the briefing. “Keep the relationship formal. Use titles or last names. When addressing dignitaries use titles (i.e. Madame Secretary, Mr. Ambassador, Doctor, Professor).”

Volunteers are further warned to “Respect privacy. Conversations you may hear are off the record and should never be repeated.”
